<h2>While some have reacted with humour, others appear indifferent to Trump’s victory.</h2>

<p>Kumawood actor Kwaku Manu offered his thoughts on the outcome of the US elections, likening the situation to <a data-link-role-code="open_new_tab" href="https://www.pulse.com.gh/news/politics/stop-predicting-2024-election-winners-akufo-addo-urges-clergy/rey1ew7">Ghana’s upcoming 2024 elections</a>. Kwaku Manu observed that, in both countries, there is a former president seeking a second term against a current vice-president. </p>

<p>He explained: <em>“If you look at this year’s elections in America, it is similar to Ghana’s own because the person who is winning the election, Trump, has been a president before. He went for one term and is returning, but his challenger is the current vice-president. If you look at Ghana, John Mahama also went for one term and is contesting for another term like Trump, but Bawumia is also challenging as the vice-president, similar to what is happening in America.”</em></p>

<p>Similarly, Ghanaian media personality Abeiku Santana reflected on the concept of “Sankofa,” saying, <em>“Sankofa: ‘san’ to return, ‘ko’ to go, and ‘fa’ to seek; in Ghanaian philosophy, go back and get it…”</em></p>
